What is Effective Philosophy? Juan and I simplify hard to grasp concepts into pragmatic takeaways that can be applied to every day life (fitness, goal setting, work, parenting, travel, hobbies, finances, etc.,). 2 x episodes a week. We go live every Wednesday with our meanderings, plus an extra as a more casual conversation with a guest or between ourselves.

You Just Can't Help From Looking | Using Curiosity To Your Advantage
Keep listening if you're keen to know more!
In Episode #402 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: what's in the box, the YouTube rabbit holes we go down, Pinkydoll and watching stuff that isn't healthy for you, why I am 3rd deviation non-curious and Juan is bang in the middle of the bell curve, ways to become curious and why at the end of the day you won't get punished for lacking it.
Massive thanks to Dave Jones, Andrew Crow, McIntosh and Cyber Pigeon for the support! Always encouraging to see some new names here.
